You can bring your own inspiration or use the resources I provide. Heat transfer printing is very quick allowing you to create layered prints so you may wish to create a stencil or find an interesting leaf or flower!

Even a scribble can become a motif! You might prefer painting a delicate design or using pre-painted paper to collage.


Print your Tote Bag or Cushion Cover

Print Your Tote Bag or Cushion Cover

Using the heat press you will print your final design onto a tote bag or cushion cover. The fabric dye is set by the heat press so your finished piece is ready to use!


A hands-on print workshop in Bristol, suitable for all abilities! Heat transfer dyes are fixed onto fabric using a heat press -- this method is known as 'dry printing' and is much quicker than screen printing.
You'll start with a demonstration of techniques such as stencil, painting, mark making, and collage. We then have a look at how the heat press and heat transfer dye work, including how to build up layers by blocking off sections with paper or lace.
You'll see a finished example (cushion cover or tote bag), and then you can start! Use provided books, magazines and other materials for inspiration -- bring your own if you'd like, such as lace or leaves to create layers.
Come along and enjoy a free-flowing, relaxed workshop with plenty of hands-on guidance. You'll leave with your finished project to cherish -- a unique tote bag or cushion cover.

I'm an award winning artist and textile designer specialising in print and embroidery. I previously ran my own print company, selling my artwork to thousands of customers across the world.
I've taught individuals, school classrooms, and adult groups, from small intimate sessions to large groups. Every workshop comes with visual demonstrations and written handouts to take home.
I love teaching all ages and abilities and seeing the different ways people work. I teach a range of techniques including stencils, painting, stamping, collage, as well as providing examples for inspiration. My favourite part of the job is watching someone surprise themselves. There's no correct way to be creative - even a scribble can become a design motif.
